HINCKLEY UNITED entertain Nationwide North leaders Stafford Rangers tomorrow with manager Dean Thomas emphasising no favours will be given to his former Notts County team-mate Phil Robinson, who is in charge of the championship favourites.

The pair played together at Meadow Lane during the early 90s and now they come head-to-head at the Marston's Stadium in what promises to be a highly competitive encounter.

Thomas said: "Phil has done an excellent job at Stafford. They are very physical and we need to deal with that if we are to get a positive result."
